Students enrolled in different but related courses join together to discuss instructor-developed prompts. Although paired classes can be at the same institution, technology such as online discussion forums and desktop video-conferencing makes it possible to connect students from different institutions.
This SET exposes students to a wider range of perspectives and ideas, motivates students to discuss topics with peers at a deeper level, and provides a structured context to explore linkages that extend beyond the usual confines of a single course. |
